hold

time slips away
and so do you
as i try desperately to hold on
to the little moments
we once had

still standing so far away
yet able to watch your face
and i wonder when the time comes
to actually let you go
how i'll survive

you're not the one who always
makes me laugh
but if only you knew
how you hold my attention
how your opinions mean
almost everything

i know it's not healthy
putting my emotions
into one basket that i've given to you
until i can move forward
and find someone new to give
please hold and keep it safe
for me
